Purging ex-employees from SharePoint Site Collections

We have a list that serves as an fairly large contacts list. Forsimplicity's sake, we used a Person field to identify the contact so wecould use presence. I created a workflow to copy the person field tothe title field, which worked like a charm for the dozen or so Itested. However, after migrating several hundred contacts into thelist, we found about 25 where the workflow had errored out.Investigating it uncovered that all 25 people picked for those contactswere no longer with the company, although they appeared in theSharePoint person lookup. Once I removed them from the All People listin the site collection, they no longer appeared in the SharePointlookup.
